I changed my rear brakes around 40,000km due to excessive rust perforation on the rear brake rotors and I opted for EBC slotted and drilled rotors paired with Green Stuff Series 2000 pads. They were phenomenal until 103k when I sold the car. A bit dusty but worked fantastic.
Switched to EBC red fronts. A bit surprised over the dust level comparing it to previous MK7 GTIs and GLIs I had them on. Seems close to OEM pad dust on the MK8s
I have EBC Greens on my '95 miata with 80k miles and 3mm on each corner due to spirited driving.
I think it's absolutely worth it if you have quality rotors. Had a set of drilled EBC rotors a while back, and had them turned 3 times before they were below spec. Think it was under $20 per rotor. Those things never warped.
The EBC RPX pads are their race ones and are incredibly good for the price. They last a long time and have serious bite. I have these paired with their fully floating rotors and callipers and have not had a single issue in a year of tracking my e46 m3.
I run EBC Redstuff pads, the brake dust is very minimal.
they held up fantastic. I drove to the track, and drive home after the track day; no issues.
Got a 22 brz and use ebc yellow the old formulation on a technical short track without issues.
I’ve been using EBC Yellowstuff on my mk7 gti for track days and daily driving. My first front set lasted 2.7 days (basically dissolving in my last run on one side). However, I’ve thought brake feel is good and I’ve now run a new set on new rotors for 4 track days. They look fine?
I had EBC green pads on my 21 CS-R, developed squeal and crazy dust.
